    Yeah, I never really looked at mouse binding, but does look quite simple.

    This implements acme chording for copy/paste and the approach looks straightforward: https://github.com/akrito/acme-mouse/blob/master/acme-mouse....

    And this package looks like a cool way to recreate the context sensitive text actions: https://github.com/cmpitg/wand

    Combining the approach from the first and the wand package could potentially surpass the acme experience by making it easier to customize and extend.

    My friend joked about how I'm religious about the keyboard, but really it's about the right tool for the job, and if I had an acme-like mouse experience with emacs I'd def be mousing around more often. Funny that compared to normal people I'm a keyboard fanatic but compared to majority of emacs users I'm on the mouse way more often :)

    There is Wand for Emacs. I don't know how it works in the terminal, but it is great for an Acme fix. https://github.com/cmpitg/wand

    There is also org-msg as another option (haven't tried both so can't compare).

    org-msg replaces a lot of message composition behavior, so it's not a big surprise that it doesn't respect that variable. Make sure you're referencing org-msg's README while customizing it.

    Funny, just dealt with the whole O365 authentication just this week. With moving to 2 factor authentication you need to use OAuth 2 to do anything with it. I have my (work) O365 email forwarded, so I do have normal IMAP access. I use isync/mbsync [1] to receive email, goimapnotify [2] to get pushed new email, read/reply/etc with mu4e [3] and org-msg [4] and org-mode, and until recently just plain SMTP to send mail. This last part will break with 2 factor, but found oauth2ms [5] to set up the OAuth to work with O365 SMTP. The trick was to find the "tenet ID" from the Azure page of your organization and to use Thunderbird's credentials [6] (or another mail program, since I can't make new app registrations on Azure to have my own "application"). That should also allow you to use IMAP with OAuth 2 as well, but haven't done that since I still have the forwarding. (As usual, I think the Arch Wiki [7] covers most of this too.)
